Georgetown Police plan Thursday public class on cold cases as part of community education series

The Georgetown Police Department will host a free public class on cold cases on Thursday, according to a report from WKYT. The session is part of the department’s ongoing community education series, which has been scheduled in recurring installments across the year.

WKYT reported that the Thursday class is the 10th offering in the Georgetown Police Department’s community education program. The department will use the session to discuss cold cases, which typically involve investigations that remain unsolved but are still actively reviewed over time.

The announcement frames the class as an opportunity for community members to better understand how cold-case investigations are approached, and the role the public can play in supporting law enforcement efforts. While details of the specific cases to be discussed were not included in the report, the program is designed to connect residents to the investigative process in a public setting.

Georgetown Police Department community education events are held in a format intended to be accessible to the public, WKYT said. The outlet also described the department’s community room as the venue commonly associated with the education series, underscoring that the events are intended to reach residents directly.

The department’s decision to continue the series for a 10th session comes as local law enforcement agencies across Kentucky increasingly emphasize public engagement and transparency as part of broader public safety efforts. Cold-case work can depend on information that emerges long after an incident, including tips from residents or leads uncovered through changes in investigative tools.
